CURRENT MISSION

To bring sustainable agriculture to the world!

ABOUT ME

Travelling for me is part of the journey through life. I learn about myself and the world while experiencing different cultures. Plus, it's just plain fun!

PHILOSOPHY

A wise woman once said "There are two important things in this world that connect us: Food and Music." Whether you disagree or not my personal philosophy is that if we can all enjoy a sustainable, secure food system then many of the worlds problems can be solved. I want to live a life full of good food and music... which is really a symbol of global harmony, because isn't that what connects us after all?

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If I want to understand the world why not do it through meeting the citizens of the world! You never know what kind of experiences can happen out of a simple conversation :)

And many other couches... but not through CouchSurfing

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Skiing for 17.5 hours (by accident) to find a hut in the Coastal Mountains of British Columbia, Canada... it's a long story. I'll tell you about it if we meet. :)

Travelling on a crammed boat at 1:00am from the Tanzanian Mainland to Mafia Island - Not really sure if we were going to make it!

Scrambling over the hills of Gombe Stream National Park to track Jane Goodall's Chimpanzees! And nearly being attacked by an alpha male chimp.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

My passion lies in food democracy and agricultural equality. So I think that I could teach a lot about these things and also have some great debates about it! However, I really don't like to limit myself and I really love to talk about anything, especially the outdoors and travelling!
